Cuba
Exploring Art, Healthcare, Sustainability & Education
June 23rd-June 30th, 2024
About the Delegation
Join us on a delegation to learn directly from the Cuban people about their rich history, dynamic society, and complex present. What advances have been made in areas of education, healthcare, the arts, and sustainability? What can the rest of the world learn from Cuba? What challenges remain? What impact do U.S. policies have on the lives of Cuban people? How can we best work in solidarity with the Cubans on the island?
This people-to-people delegation will explore these questions through conversations with youth, artists, doctors, professionals, families, educators, musicians ,economists and neighborhood organizing committees. Visits to artists' collectives, urban agriculture projects, museums, and historical sites provide an on-the-ground immersion into Cuban life and culture. Delegates located in the Raleigh/Durham area are encouraged to apply.
